No, the pics are fine. It's that you linked them together side by side, when you should've linked them vertically. Like so

and here is the old box..

Jmac, i have to ask you whats not "clean" about the enclosure? The top panel is not glued or screwed in any of those photos just so you know. The circle cuts are a lot better than some i've seen before..i started with a jigsaw at one point and then switched to a dremel with a circle jig. Since the subs hide (overlap) the cutouts i didnt care too much if there were little imperfections. like i said its my first box project and i think it turned out very well...

it was eaiser to do it in 2 pieces because 3/4" was to flimsy.
48" long with 2 3/4" pieces holding it together, its gonna crack !
1 piece was our first plan, then we had to change it.
*Mind you this is our first box, dont expect perfection.

what exactly do you mean? use two sheets on the front instead of one?

Yeah. Twice as thick.

You can then router out a mounting hole and have the sub gasket flush mounted with the first panel. Looks awesome, especially when carpeted. And of course it adds more strength.

ill think of that for the next time. im on a tight budget and had to make do with the materials and tools i had on hand and i think it turned out pretty decent. thanks for the tip thogh. i was planning on doing that originally,just not enough $$$ in the budget for the extra material.
